The Black Sheep of the Disney Renaissance


I mean, you had a bunch of talented animators working on a movie based on historical fiction and the only result is just a bland romance story that doesn't even have a focus on which tone to go for (for instance, adding animal sidekicks for comic relief that add little to nothing, a dark moment where a side character dies, etc.), characters that are one-dimensional, and musical lyrics that are hilariously stupid (still better than the music/lyrics for Disney's Wish though). That being said, it's not entirely godawful as it still does have beautiful animation, great voice work from everyone involved, and Colors of the Wind, while preachy in places, is a decent song.

Just wondering, MovieBooker94, what do you think of the ending?

reply

The theatrical ending is fine. It lacks the spark compared to other Disney endings.

reply

It's still better than The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

That's one of the weakest Disney movies for me.

reply

I beg to differ. The Hunchback of Notre Dame had better lyrics.

reply

I don't agree.

Pocahontas is way better than The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Why?

reply

Because it's boring.

I don't like the main character, the setting and the story.

reply

What was wrong with the main character?

reply

Only the fact of him being a hunchback annoys me.

reply

Why?

reply

It's obvious.

reply

Of course he's a hunchback. It's in the title.

reply

Of course he's a hunchback. Everyone knows that.

reply

Can you explain why it annoys you, though?

reply

He's ugly and it's annoying to look at him.

Wow, how mature of you. Insulting someone for their taste. You clearly can`t be older than twelve years old, so I suggest to grow up before ever approaching a discussion board again.

reply

As enjoyable as the film is, it suffers from trying to focus so much on everything that nothing in particular gets any focus.
